My question is would I have gained additional fat around my waist over the weekend? Or would this be a combination of water/fat etc.

I would have thought fat took longer than 2 days to develop.

id say a combination. It really doesnt take long

Bro, your body will store fat ANYTIME you eat beyond what it needs. I learned that the hard way long ago. People think they can get away with cheats- you might, so long as you continue working out and burning sufficient calories.

Plus if you ate lots of 'bad carbs/sugars' you blood sugar was sent soaring and it packed away fat even faster.

so its easier to put on, harder to take off

not too mention you will see instant gains from the food which is stored in your colon, this would definately increase your pant size

Take comfort in this. You can only metabolize so many callories at once, you shit out the rest. Just the food and water in the stomach can cause the bloat you have.
